I had a particularly bad dream last night. My behavior in the dream left quite a bit to be desired. Let's just say it involved my ex and the creature he's fucking now. I remember feeling totally worthless and degraded and desperate in the dream. Quite miserable. I woke up feeling the same. Ain't dreams great! And to think - that's the first one I've remembered in a very long time.

I should have done that this time. I used to keep a journal close to the bed for that - but I truly remember them so seldomly that I've gotten out of the habit.
Plus I felt so emotionally messed up when I wok up from this one that I wouldn't have anyway.
I wish I could remember it all now though so I could sort it out and get the emotions out of my head.

It's always rough when you wake out of a really intense dream because (in my case at least, dunno about you) I'm always very disoriented going from one mindset to another, and it takes me a few moments to get my bearings. Often by the time I have the light on and the journal out, the dream has melted away.

In those cases I wind up writing a story anyway, piecing together the dream-bits I can remember with whatever details seem to make sense. It's not the same as the dream was, most likely, but it winds up being satisfying anyway.
